    Big Leaf Maple Bowl

    Big Leaf Maple Bowl with lots of nice tiger figure. Around 9" (22cm) across, finished with Bush Oil and Polyurethane.

    Another excellent example. I too am a fan of thicker bowls.

    You should consider multiple images so we have an opportunity to look for at least one flaw

    Beautiful bowl. That wood is very cool looking. How many coats of finish did you use? I like the deep shine.
    Do or do not, there is no try.

    Great looking bowl Eric! BLM is one of my favorites and all that curl is just icing on an already beautiful bowl!
